How do you turn ocean protection into action? On Rapa Nui, the challenge is not just creating a marine protected area, it’s implementing it. That means moving beyond “paper parks” to effective, community-led management. Global Fishing Watch supports this effort by providing tools like Marine Manager, which use vessel data to reveal activity at sea. These insights help communities monitor their waters, make informed decisions and strengthen protection. But the impact goes beyond technology. By combining data with local knowledge, the Rapa Nui community is taking an active role in safeguarding their ocean. Because real protection happens when people have the tools and the power to act. 🔗 Learn more about our work in Rapa Nui: https://globalfishingwatch.org/fact-sheet/marine-manager-helps-protect-unique-ecosystem-south-atlantic-ocean/ #OceanTransparency #MarineManager #RapaNui #OceanProtection #GlobalFishingWatch
